Pumpkin Lasagna
I saw different versions of this pumpkin pie dessert lasagna on Pinterest and my mouth immediately began watering! I knew I just had to put my own spin on it and it turned out soooo good. I think I’ll be making this pumpkin lasagna every holiday from now on (along with traditional pumpkin pie, of course).
The icing on the cake (sort of literally) to this delicious dessert are the pumpkin pie baking chips. I am OBSESSED with these things. I searched high and low for them and couldn’t find them anywhere, but I finally found them on a random lunch trip to Target. If you can’t find them, white chocolate chips would be a delicious substitute.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Dessert Lasagna
This Pumpkin Dessert Lasagna is so easy to make, which is just one of many reasons that I love it so much. It has the perfect creamy texture, and everything blends together so well to create the most amazing flavor!
Here’s a quick overview of the recipe:
- Make the crust: Place graham crackers in a resealable bag & use a rolling pin to crush them up. Pour in melted butter & knead it into the crackers. Then press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a baking dish. Bake 6-8 minutes.
- Make pumpkin pie mousse: Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, then add in heavy cream and whisk together. Mix in powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree, then add 1 container of Cool Whip and whisk together.
- Make whipped topping: Combine 1 container of Cool Whip with melted white chocolate and whisk together.
- Assemble: Spread 1/2 the pumpkin mousse mixture in an even layer on top of the graham crackers crust. Place rows of lady fingers, and then spread the rest of the mousse in an even layer. Spread on the white chocolate whipped topping, a thin layer of cool whip, and then sprinkle on the pumpkin spice chips.
Let the pumpkin pie dessert lasagna chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving. See the recipe card below for more detailed instructions.

How to Store this Dessert Lasagna
Since it’s only the two of us in the house, we froze this dessert lasagna to make it last longer. I was tempted to eat it all in one sitting, but freezing it and eating a little at a time was a better choice! You can freeze it in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Just take it out about 30 minutes before eating for maximum deliciousness! (hint: make it a couple days before Thanksgiving and wow your guests!)

:
- 1 sleeve graham crackers
- 6 ounces melted butter
- 8 ounces low fat cream cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 can pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1/2 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 8 ounce containers of lite Cool Whip plus another 1/2 container 4 ounces cool whip
- 15 ladyfinger cookies
- 6 ounces good quality white chocolate melted
- 1 cup pumpkin spice chips if you canâ??t find these, white chocolate chips would also be delicious!
- 1 cup chopped pecans optional
Preheat oven to 350F
Place the graham crackers in a gallon ziplock bag (sealed) and crush using a rolling pin. Crush into as small of pieces as possible. Pour melted butter into bag and reseal, then knead the butter into the grahams until well combined. Pour graham mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish and press firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will be your crust. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool.
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add heavy cream and whisk until well combined. Add powdered sugar, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined. Add one container of cool whip and whisk on high for 1-2 minutes until fluffy and completely smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the other 8 ounce container of cool whip with the melted white chocolate. Whisk until completely combined and smooth. Set aside.
Once your crust is cooled, top with half of the pumpkin mousse and spread it around to form an even layer. Top with lady fingers (put them into even rows) and then top with the rest of the pumpkin mousse. Top the mousse with the white chocolate whip cream and spread out evenly. Spread a thin layer of regular cool whip (the half a container from above) over everything and sprinkle on pumpkin spice chips and pecans.
Chill in fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. You can also freeze if you prefer it to be less creamy. If freezing, take out of freezer 30 minutes before serving.
